Photos of the great outdoors

Nice Warren!

 

Thanks!

A couple more I found while trawling through the memory card!

 

A couple of pics from my recent holiday in Austria. Which one do you like best?







[/QUOTE]

 

I like #1 best!

All are really great pics though

 

I went fishing last Friday and found this little beauty on my fishing bag when I was packing up


After a bit of google work I found it was a Pale Tussock Moth caterpillar, poisonous hairs as well apparently and can cause a nasty rash! Good thing I am wary of critters I don't recognise

 

I just assume any caterpillar with bright colors and more hair than I have is poisonous.

Pretty though!

 

was a long day startign with a pic of a few planets and ending on a hell of a sunset

 

That last pic is amazing Butch

 

moon was large and clear today so no star shot but i said the hell with it and shot the moon

 

that shot is much larger then i cn post on here. took my 16mm shot vertical then snapped 6-8 shots. joined them in photoshop then cropped the pano (nearly 10k pixels wide i think )

 

So awesome!

 

Do you know what planets those are?

 

from bottom left mars venus and then jupiter
if the skys are clear when my wife gets up i ll will be back out with ore zoom to try and get better shot of jupiter and its moons (you can see them if you zoom i a bunch ) and not too bad to see them with the raw file. i hope to keep the trypod steady and get a few shots

 

Very cool man!

 

Just noticed your shots, Butch!! Very nice :cool1

A few shots from around the fishing lake today(no fish though!)

Moody tree shots



Old Massey Ferguson, nice blue enamel coffee mug on the exhaust pipe!


Random arty shot


A duck( just in case you are not familiar with these)


This one just woke from a nap.


Cute little Wren



My first ever pic of a Woodpecker! Just about got this one before it vanished.


No fish today, but who cares with great wildlife about

 

I like that tractor.

 

We have some wrens that look just like that. Tiny little things--not much bigger than a hummingbird--but they are LOUD when they fuss at you!

 

Yeah they are tiny, but fast and noisy, which makes them easy to find for taking some snaps!
I saw a pair of Kingfishers fly along the lake twice, skimming the water at high speed, just a blue blur really! no chance of a pic but great to see I think I will just take the camera to the lake next week for a few hours and sit still and see what wildlife I can get some shots of.

 

Yeah it was a pretty cool thing to look at, I guess the enamel mug is to stop rain getting down the exhaust?
